Life can change in a flash! All of a sudden, you or a loved one or a friend may need services you probably never even knew existed.
Join the Wellness Integrated Network (WIN) on Friday, Dec. 6, at 2 p.m. at the DesertView Performing Arts Center to learn more about home services available in SaddleBrooke. Mahnaz Pourian, owner of Home Instead, will be filling us in on the latest services available. Whether you, your loved ones, or your friends are veterans, homebound, recovering from surgery, or facing end of life, there are special programs and services available to help everyone!
Knowing about these programs can be important for your future or the future of those you care about. You or someone you are close to may need some of these services right now or in the future. We all know SaddleBrooke residents who have had life-changing events. We’ve seen others struggle because they have been blindsided by a life event. You or someone you know may need to know about these services. Wouldn’t it be good to have an idea about what is available so you can make good decisions?
Mahnaz Pourian has spent her lifetime helping others. For 23 years, she served as a pharmacist, supporting others with medical needs. Then, suddenly, her mother was no longer able to live by herself. Mahnaz was a working mom with a home and family to look after. It was then that she learned firsthand about the value of home care. Through trial and error and many tears, Mahnaz learned about what worked and what didn’t work. When she finally found Home Instead, she was so impressed that she invested in a franchise. And she knows what works, because her husband has Parkinson’s and needs home services.
Much like the world today, home care is evolving to meet the needs of the people they serve. New programs are available for veterans, those with financial needs, and those who need various types of support. Come join us and learn more about new services that are currently available in our area.
In addition to monthly seminars at DesertView, we also offer small group classes.
